An Economic Analysis Of Wild Bee Pollination In Lowbush Blueberry Production, Francis A. Drummond
An Economic Analysis Of Wild Bee Pollination In Lowbush Blueberry Production, Francis A. Drummond
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
The purpose of this project is to determine the relative economic values of wild bee pollinators and commercial honeybees in lowbush blueberry production for individual Maine farms. The lowbush blueberry requires insect pollination in order to set fruit. Most farmers rent colonies of the non-native honeybee for pollination services, but wild, native bees are also effective pollinators. This project aims to provide growers with the means to assess the pollination needs of individual fields and to understand the levels of pollination possible if honeybees are not available. In order to achieve these goals, the relative abundance and species diversity of …
